Faithful cross! above all other (Crux fidelis inter omnes)
Author: Venantius Honorius Fortunatus (540-600?); John Mason Neale (1818-1866) Hymnal: Wonder, Love, and Praise #737 (1997) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Hymnal Title: Wonder, Love, and Praise First Line: Faithful cross, above all other (Crux fidelis inter omnes) Lyrics: 1 Faithful cross, above all other:
one and only noble tree!
None in foliage, none in blossom,
none in fruit thy peer may be:
sweetest wood and sweetest iron,
sweetest weight is hung on thee.
2 Bend thy boughs, O tree of glory!
Thy relaxing sinews bend;
for awhile the ancient rigor
that thy birth bestowed, suspend;
and the King of heavenly beauty
gently on thine arms extend.
3 Praise and honor to the Father,
praise and nonor to the Son,
praise and honor to the Spirit,
ever Three and ever One:
one in might and one in glory
while eternal ages run.
1 Crux fidelis inter omnes,
arbor una nobilis:
Nulla talem silva, profert,
fronde, flore, germine;
dulce lignum, dulces clavos,
dulce pondus sustinet. Topics: Hymns and Spiritual Songs Lent, Holy Week, and Easter Scripture: Acts 10:39 Languages: English, Latin Tune Title: MONROVIA
Faithful cross! above all other (Crux fidelis inter omnes)
